In today's world,global climate change has been recognized as one of the global challenges facing mankind in the 21 st century.In response,the international community has taken a series of positive measures and adopted a series of international agreements under the framework of the United Nations,trying to coordinate the differences of interests among countries and promote the international community to jointly respond to the challenge of global climate change.As one of the earliest actors concerned about climate change in the international community,the EU has always taken a positive attitude and tried to play a "leader" role in global climate governance.In June 2017,with the announcement of the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement,new challenges have been added to global climate governance,and the position of the European Union in global climate governance will become more important.Therefore,the formulation of a common climate policy has become a new way to consolidate the EU's identity.European Union's climate policy identity is the product of economic,political,cultural and social factors.Firstly,in terms of economy,promoting sustainable development within the EU and reducing the losses caused by climate change are the fundamental factors of EU's climate policy identity;secondly,in the aspect of politics,increasing diplomatic independence,promoting stability and development within the EU and seeking global climate leader status are the objective requirements of EU's climate policy;lastly,in terms of culture,people's environmental awareness,and the promotion of national policies and concepts as well as the promotion of European Green Party and NGOs in social factors are the intrinsic motivation of EU climate policy.Winter's identity theory can be summed up as ideological identity and identity.EU's climate policy identity is also the product of ideological identity and identity.For a long time,seeking the identity of climate leaders and maintaining peace and stability within the EU has guided the interaction practice of EU climate policy.As a result,the status of competitors has been transformed into that of friends amongmember states,and the collective identity of EU Member States has been gradually deepened.It is in this positive interaction between the identity of ideas and identity,the European Union's climate policy identity has continued to develop.Using Winter's constructivist identity theory to study the identity in EU climate policy can provide some inspiration for the governance of global climate in today's era.In the international community,today's Global Climate Governance is in a dilemma,and the contradiction between national interests and global public interests is difficult to coordinate.By analyzing the coordinating role of ideological identity and identity in EU climate policy among various actors in many countries,we can correctly view the important role of concepts and actively identify with the concept of human destiny community,as a result,the identity of friends and community can build to promoting the process of global climate governance.
